There’s a place downtown where the past and present come together with a sizzle

At Lallapalooza, we combine modern flair with traditional class as a backdrop for a menu packed with decadent favorites made right here from scratch, from our wood-grilled steaks to wood-fired pizzas to our famous martini creations.

Make Lallapalooza a part of your night on the town - we’ll show you what all the buzz is about!

History

In 1997, what used to be an empty bank building in the middle of downtown Monterey became something much bigger when Lallapalooza first opened its doors. At the time, martini bars were few and far between, but Lalla knew they had a good thing and ran with it. Their huge variety of unique and inspired drinks are far from all there is to Lallapalooza. The major theme here is “big”. Big drinks, big energy, big food.

Also known as a "butcher's steak" because they would reserve this flavorful cut for themselves.

This steak is so thick, we need to butterfly it if you want it cooked past medium rare.

This steak has it all. The 28-day dry aging process intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the already savory New York strip. The bone-in adds even more flavor.

We make all of our burgers using American Kobe Beef. Not only does it have top tier flavor and marbling, but it is 100% natural, and free of any hormones or antibodies. The cattle are raised in Eastern Idaho on family ranches with a longstanding tradition of animal welfare & environnmental sustainability.
